AIR— "Happy   Land." 


Land  of  the  South!  Land  of  the  South  !

Still  again,  still  again, 

Rf  y  thoughts  will  cling  to  thee : 

Land  of  love  and  sunnv  skies, 

Rich  in  joy  and  beauty, 

Merry  hearts  and  laughing  eyes, 

Still  make  aflfection  duty. 

Oh  Southern  home.  Southern  homo, 

Ne'er  from  thee  my  lieart  can  stay; 

I  would  fuiu  hear  again 

Thy  soldiers'  manly  cry — 

To  arms !  to  arms  !  to  arms  ! 

Unnatural  brothers  come — to  arms  ! 

Land  of  the  South  !  Innd  of  the  South  I 

What  e'er  my  fate  in  Hi  •  uiay  be, 

Still  again,  still  again. 

My  thoughts  will  cling  1 1  tlieo: 

Like  that  bird  of  love  ai:'!  ^ol1g, 

Far  from  its  own  dweliin_^ 

When  into  the  wild  air  iiiuig. 

What  joy  its  note  is  telli  ig. 

Ne'er  from  thee  ray  heart  can  stay, 

1  woulil  fain  hear  again 

Thy  soldiers'  manly  cry — 

To  arms  !  to  arms  !  to  arms! 
The  Northmen  come — to  arms  I 

Land  of  the  South  !  land  of  the  South  1 
Though  now  insulted  and  oppressed, 
Still  thy  child  with  sorrow  feels 
Thy  pangs  within  his  breast: 
Land  of  love  and  sunny  skies. 
Rich  in  female  beauty, 
Saddened  hearts  and  drooping  eyes 
Still  make  affection  duty. 
Oh  Southern  home,  Southern  home. 
Ne'er  from  thee  my  heart  can  stay, 
I  would  fain  hear  again 
Thy  freemen's  noble  cry —  J 

"^o  arms !  to  arms  I  to  arms !
